yes, there are no problems because it's disabled.
but it's disabled because many users had SIGILl in it.
you said that it's not faster than mmx version (because of
memory dis-alignment) so it doesn't matter.

yes i know. btw nowdays many users has sigill in it...

maybe they all are using 2.2.x kernel.

runtime? hmm. compiletime is better IMHO.

btw we should do some checks at runtime too, to avoid bugreports
from cross-compiled mplayer users.
(who compiles mplayer on the dual-p3 server and then use it on home 486)

[cvs|www|ftp].mplayerhq.hu
(it still not work, we're waiting to domain registration)

but the server is up, currently at mplayer.dev.hu (or mplayer.megesz.hu)

i'll make automatic backups of cvs repository after each cvs commit,
so cvs messups can be reversed.

homepage is already there, refreshed from cvs after every cvs commit.

ftp is up too, i've copied all stuff to there, and it has big space in
incoming.

cvs is on SF yet, but i'll move it as soon as possible
(it's very difficult, because I have to remove cvs users at SF, wait 24h
for SF backup tarball and then set cvsroot at the new server)
